Sharing our science

A core mission of the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre is to contribute to society through a better understanding of brain function. We have an open science ethos and share our science through public engagement, events, exhibitions and regular blog posts.

The BrainGlobe Initiative

The BrainGlobe Initiative (BGI) was created by neuroscientists at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, UCL and the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology (now at the Technical University of Munich) and is now a multi-national consortium of neuroscientists and developers from Europe, UK and USA (including Princeton University, the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience, Tel Aviv University and the Francis Crick Institute).
